Chapter 10 Lottery
[mirror, 1,342,034 copies sold. ]
This is a sales volume that is enough to make countless people in the industry beat their chests, but Luo Bai feels a little guilty at the moment.
It has been almost half a month since the popularity of the magic mirror subsided. During this period, there were many people who couldn't figure it out and randomly asked AI to draw a few low-quality pictures and took names like "Magic Mirror" to make money.
There are even people who want to recreate the battle for the Bar that was so popular with Magic Mirror at that time.
But as a result, players refunded their money and were scolded, and related posts were immediately banned by the platform.
Internet regulation seems to have become more stringent and careful.
As for the magic mirror... its status in the world has already fallen into the category of "Although I am no longer in the world, the world is my legend."
Pictures cannot be posted, but you can often see people posting them in forums with a lot of people.
Contrary to the increasingly strict supervision on the Internet, the offline review environment has indeed become visibly looser. Luo Bai has recently seen news of at least three "zombie movies" being launched in Hong Kong.
But these have nothing to do with Luo Bai.
"The next game will go directly to the shore! Don't worry about all the extra work." Luo Bai clenched his fists to cheer himself up secretly, then looked straight at the panel in front of him,
"Let's take a look at the reputation value in the distance, family members."
【Name: Luo Bai】
[Ability to master: CG drawing (master level), game design (intermediate level), programming ability (intermediate level), numerical balance (low level), music appreciation (low level)...]
[Family works: mirror. 】
【Existing reputation: 12806】
[Evaluation: You draw the lottery first and I will change it later. 】
Looking at the reputation of more than 10,000 people, Luo Bai looked a little confused - yes or no.
It is actually only enough for one elite lottery and two ordinary draws.
After all, Magic Mirror has sold more than one million copies, and there are even more copies that have been heard but have not been bought. He is curious about the method of converting reputation points.
"System, how do you calculate this reputation value?"
[This system is an all-round game production auxiliary system. Whenever a player recognizes the host, each player can gain one reputation point. 】
[Note: The scope of recognition is willingness to try works because of the host’s reputation]
"That is to say, you will be confused when you see my name, right?"
[The host can understand this]
When the system explained it this way, Luo Bai started to understand.
It’s not an easy thing for players to be confused by the author. After all, even if the games are released by the same author, the quality will definitely be high or low, and because of the subject matter, players will definitely have to face choices. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many IP works produced.
To be honest, if this is the standard of evaluation, Luo Bai feels that his reputation value of more than 10,000 is still high.
After all, among these more than 10,000 reputations, there must be a lot of critics. Luo Bai’s next game is going to be launched, and it’s up to them whether they will buy it or not.
"It's useless to think about these things. As long as we continue to present high-quality works to players and consider their experience, the reputation value will always add up."
Luo Bai rubbed his hands and smiled excitedly:
"System, ordinary prize pool lottery!"
Pad the knife first.
What comes into view is a carousel that is exactly the same as the original luxurious prize pool:
Game categories: "Overcoming Difficulties with Benny Ford", "Vampire Survivor", "Plants vs. Zombies"...
Skills: Arranging ability (intermediate), plot creation (intermediate), project scheduling (intermediate)...
Props: Encounter on a narrow road, start-up capital (small), recruitment...
"Ah this."
Luo Bai was somewhat blinded by the turntable in front of him.
Originally, after having the luxury prize pool lottery experience and master-level CG drawing experience, Luo Bai naturally despised the ordinary-level prize pool in his heart. But looking at it now, who says that the things in the ordinary prize pool must be ordinary?
"Overcoming Difficulties with Benny Ford" is also known as Digging to Survive. The famous memes "Gaia" and "I am playing Nima" come from this game.
This game of climbing up a mountain with a sledgehammer is so exciting that it once made many anchors break their defenses and the program was very effective.
It can be said that you only need to spend a little money to hire a big anchor to play once, and you can instantly create a trend, and you will definitely make money without losing money.
It’s just...it’s easy to be too entertaining, causing players to take a detour when they see the games he makes in the future. This can only gain a group of die-hard fans who like to challenge themselves, which is not conducive to collecting reputation.
"Vampire Survivor", in SteamDB's review of the best games of 2022, severely beat "God of War 4" and "Lost" in terms of positive reviews, and topped the list.
Everyone who has played it says it’s a great experience, just mowing grass and having fun.
A game category called "Survivor-like" was even created, and many outstanding students emerged.
"Plants vs. Zombies" is a god among gods.
No need for any excessive explanation, it is just like a high mountain right here.
Such a game would not be too much for Luo Bai in the luxury prize pool, but now it actually appears in the ordinary prize pool.
Does the system divide the prize pool according to the size of the game?
And as Luo Bai was thinking in his heart, the pointer of the turntable slowly stopped.
【Project Scheduling (Intermediate)】
The same feeling as when he received the CG drawing came to his mind. In just a moment, Luo Bai felt that there were many more experiences in his mind about the development of multiple games that he had led.
Luo Bai learned a lot about how to preside over the development of a game, how to accurately communicate needs to programmers, and how to balance balance and work proportions.
Not a bad result.
Although he also coveted the above-mentioned games, he didn't get this one, right?
And with a thought, the second ordinary lottery also came to fruition.
[Encounter on a narrow road: You can lock a similar work to the host's for PK. The release dates of both parties will coincidentally collide with each other, attracting greater attention. 】
[Evaluation: What should I do if two similar games collide? Whoever cares will be embarrassed. 】
Props category.
Luo Bai pinched his chin, feeling that this prop was quite old.
Two similar games collide, and with the blessing of this prop, the other game is expected to be outperformed, so the hot spot will be used as a wedding dress for others.
"System, elite prize pool draw!"
Game categories: "Hades", "Ori and the Dark Forest", "Hollow Knight"...
Skills:...
Props:...
With just one glance, Luo Bai's eyes were firmly fixed on the games category.
At the same time, he was already praying secretly in his heart:
"Hollow or Ori, the system please..."
As expected, the system did not live up to Luo Bai's expectations. As his breathing gradually became heavier, the pointer suddenly stopped on "Ori and the Dark Forest".
Luo Bai suddenly took out his small notebook, and Tianxing Company was on the first page:
1. Steal my creativity. (Cannon Ball Hall)
2. Scold my magic mirror. (Promoting their new work)
"I remember that you are also a side-scrolling 2D action game, right? Damn it, I'm going to kill you this time!"
